A visual Cassegrain CCD camera system, called the C3, has been constructed for use at the 2.3-m telescope at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory. It is optically, mechanically, and cryogenically simple. The instrument is based upon a Texas Instruments TI-4849 (584 x 390) virtual-phase CCD and an Hitachi 63701 microprocessor. It is controlled remotely from an IBM PC XT microcomputer. The system will include an Ethernet connection to another computer which will be used as an in situ image reduction facility. The design and photometric performance of the instrument are described, and an image taken using the C3 is presented. Further developments of the system are also discussed.
